Abstract
The following description of the engine and fuel control system explains the principles of fuel and engine control as well as the architecture of the most commonly used designs of fuel control systems. All modern turbofan engines are controlled by full authority digital engine control (FADEC) systems. Despite this fact, large numbers of older hydromechanically controlled engines are still in use. To give an overview of these kind of systems, they are described as well.
